It mean LFI is a classic centre-left organisation a few more leftist than the PS (the ones getting assaulted there) it is a fallacy to call it far nor hard-left
Also it was not an LFI parade it was the unions demonstration where politcals parties usually have a stand on the sidewalk.
Asking LFI what the agression was about is part of a broader red-scare campaign. The agressor were (probably) a far-left group but calling it LFI is a conspiracy theorie
I have no idea of the internals of French politics, I’ve never heard of any of these people. My assumption (based on absolutely no evidence, just on pattern recognition) is that this is the result on some level of Russian propaganda infiltrating French politics and persuading every grouping that isn’t their favored mini-Nazis to attack one another and become consumed with infighting and destroy their own effectiveness. That’s why I thought it was important.
Assigning “good guys” and “bad guys” among the different groupings or picking the right labels for them, to me, misses the broader point.
Sadly we do not need the russians to fight each other
Even is they are part of the rise of political violence
The Parti Socialiste ruled France a few years they are often pictured as the “traitors party” since they sided with corporate interest. The actual goverment (from pædo apologists to more classic far right) escaped a no confidence vote thanks to them.
